Windows 7: Google Chrome OS Available to Download

Only VMWare Player is free I believe, I also believe you need Workstation to use this, if so then just get the free 30-day trial here

got one question here
just using VirtualBox to mount the image from the pirate bay, it "can work", but reacting is slow. Is it because of Vbox? (VMware better?) or only because of virtual machine?

sry post this on Windows 7 forum >.>

Well, as you can see by my system specs, I don't have the best laptop, but VMware was decently fast. I get it 2gb RAM though. lol

VMWARE player doesn't need vmware workstation and is 100% FREE.

Vmware server is also 100% free -- I'd go for that one BTW unless you want to run Windows 7 virtual machines with full aero on them.

vmware server is fine for XP with all the themes you could possibly need.

Here's an example of a W2K3 VM server under vmware server with the Royale Noir theme and a beautiful Jaguar lifted from the Brazilian Windows 7 theme (extracted the wall paper).

I must admit I thought Jaguars were idiginous to Costa Rica rather than Brazil -- the powers of the Internet !!.

I'll probably play around with Google Chrome on a VM (vmware type of vhd) later although I'm not particularly keen on Ubuntu -- I prefer Open SUSE 11.1/11.2 but with Linux of course YMMV.

Cheers

What is the Royale Noir theme? And how do you get your themes? I want to spruce up my Server 2008 and Windows 7..and XP.

Win7User512 here you go - http://oddbasket.deviantart.com/art/...mixed-44294818

An entire OS that is completely integrated into a single vendors on line services and /requires/ you to use them to even use the OS?

I really don't like the kind of computing world that is heading towards... (IPhone etc included) We've been there in the "distant" past and got away from it for good reason.

Having 30 OSes each locked into a single vendors offerings was and will again be an annoying nightmare of incompatibility, non-portability and total vendor lock-in.

Google is not here to "Free us from Microsoft" but to "Enslave us to Google" and that enslavement will be a lot tighter than Microsoft ever was.

I want to use selective google services on my OS of choice, not be locked into all of them on their OS. Not even on my phone.

id rather trust dave and their guys at gdgt....

for the people that dont trust the torrent and get slow speed regarless of how many seeds...
Download Google Chrome OS for free - gdgt
you do have to be a member to donwload i guess that is the only catch...

Thanks DNG. I got it installed in VMWare. Seems like it's pretty barebones at the moment, but I can see the potential here. I don't think MS has much to worry about, even in the NetBook market...

Yeah, that's where I downloaded it from. Thanks for the link.
